Thanks Coach! That’s why we coach. Give guys opportunities, more importantly teach them how to believe in themselves. Once they believe in themselves, the possibilities are endless.
I’m honored to be chosen to lead the Graceland University FB program. Looking forward to restoring greatness. Can’t wait to meet the student athletes.
Be ready for the most challenging yet rewarding season of your life.

My DM’s and mentions are off the charts. I really really appreciate your interest in
@GracelandFB
our staff, and University. I’m trying to get to all of them, but what will separate you, is have your coach reach out on your behalf, that’s a game changer.
#OnlyTheTough
Having coached college fb for 20 years, 15 as head coach, now having coached HS for 2 years and a spring, it has reaffirmed my MASSIVE respect for HS coaches.
The best high school coaches are those with time management skills, organization and LOVE FOR THE KIDS.... Period!!!!!
I’m my 20 years of coaching college football, one thing I know is true:
If you aren’t a Great Husband and father, you aren’t a great coach.

Both will be Juniors. Who wants to come set offensive records with these 2.

headed in for surgery. Although he only got to play half the year, not a bad sophomore campaign. 90 completions (63 percent) 1100 plus yards passing, most impressive is his 20 TDs to 2 Int ratio.

was only in 7th grade, coach showed me his film & said, what can I do to help this kid get a scholarship. Him and many others benefited from coaches love.
This guy is special. 10 catches for 4 TDs is great…
But——- watch him block, then you’ll really know why he is a Star. NFL scouts can’t stop talking about how he plays away from the ball.
